It was a pleasure hiring and working with the Abrahamson&Uiterwyk law firm.
During my deposition, Mr Tomas Gacio was meticulous and straightforward. I felt prepared, and I did very well. The same professionalism went into my mediation. As attorney, Andrew Bennett made it known to the opposing side that he was willing to go all the way legally to make me, his client whole and satisfied. Mr. Bennett highlighted the details of my claim in a way that was easily understood by me. These two gentlemen made me feel cool, calm, and collected, and as a member of this law family. Paralegal Janice Harmon, I so appreciate you.
I am happy and glad I chose the right law firm to represent me.
Sincerely,
Jeffrey L.

Abraham and Uiterwyk has hands down been the biggest blessing I received in the past 3 years due to them making the process so easy and painless for me. I had got into my first car accident 2 years ago and the only people there for me were my team at A&U. My own insurance would not help me, but Tom and Carla were there for me every step of the way and won my case! Thank you again to the A&U team.

Brad Souders is a very competent attorney. He is very professional but also very compassionate. He came to my house because I was hurting too bad to go to his office. He answers his phone when you call and if for some reason he can't, he calls back in a timely fashion. He explains everything in detail and keeps you up to date on your case. I would highly recommend him to anyone and everyone. He makes you feel very comfortable.

This is a very caring person who deals with you personally, not like many others who are just behind a big name. He calls you promptly and takes time to talk to you in great detail. It's evident that as a biker himself he's on the same wavelength and easily relates to anyone's situation with great understanding and passion.

I recently worked with this outstanding estate planning law firm. Naseem was professional, knowledgeable, and reassuring. She expertly guided me through all legal jargon. I highly recommend this firm if considering wills, establishing a trust, and setting up a power of attorney. Her attention to detail and ability to explain complex concepts clearly were impressive. Highly recommended for anyone seeking top-notch estate planning services.

Michael and his assistant Julie are awesome! They will work harder for you than any large firm, period. They are kind and caring and will make sure that they do everything they possibly can to ensure you get what you deserve for your case. I was in an auto accident and do not have any health insurance. After the insurance company settled, looking at my medical bills I did not think I would get anything out of the settlement other than my bills getting paid. Michael had other plans. They continued to negotiate my medical bills down and I was blown away by how much they were able to get them reduced. Because of this I was able to pay off not only the debt I accrued from having to pay for rental cars to make it to my medial appointments for my injuries and delivery service for times I did not have a rental car but I was also able to pay off additional debt and had money left over. If you are injured in an accident, I highly recommend the Law Offices of Michael R. Herron, you wont regret it.

We called his office from the accident scene as a family member recommended him to us and I thank God we did. He took care of us from the beginning and walked us through every step of the process. Not only was Michael great to work with, but his staff was too and it was always easy to get ahold of him which is incredibly important in times like this. I have nothing but great things to say about his law office. Thank you for taking care of me and my family in such an emotional time!

Used one lawyer and was delaying to see if he could give at least money for my medical bills. Then a family member told me about Michael Herron and he and his team worked my case and managed to bring me the top amount possible from the insurance company. I did nothing, just wait and “Wallahh” done in a few month.

I cannot recommend William B. Wynne highly enough! From the moment I called him, I felt confident and supported. William was incredibly knowledgeable, explaining every step of the legal process in a way that was easy to understand. They were always available to answer my questions and genuinely cared about my case. His attention to detail and strategic thinking were invaluable and led to a successful outcome beyond my expectations. If you’re looking for a lawyer who will fight for you and truly has your best interests at heart, look no further than William.

My experience was with Attorney Maria Perinetti. She had been referred to me by close friends who raved about her when handling their ailing mother's legal issues. Now that i find myself in the same situation, I phoned her for a consult and found her extremely knowledgeable and sensitive to the issues regarding elder care. She has been a kind listener and delivered the right advise for my family in our current situation. I too would refer her to my friends as the right legal help when addressing issues with estate planning and Medicare/Medicaid assistance.

Mr. Ligori handled 2 separate cases for me. Both cases he made site I got the treatment needed to recover. I felt like I was treated with respect, and with a personalized service. And every detail mattered. My file was huge, it seemed like several thousand pages thick. In more than one occasion I was impressed about how much knowledge he had of my case. I know there are assistants who help compile the documents, but when I asked Mr. Ligori about any specifics, not only could he turn right to the page, but he knew what was on that page without even looking at it. To me, that showed he was dedicated to getting the outcome I deserved. If I'm ever in the position where I need his services, I wouldn't hesitate to call him.

When you hire Anthony Rickman (and his firm)you feel like you're being represented by a good friend and that you're not just a client. I did not have representation initially not realizing my legal situation needed an attorney and not only an attorney a good one. Once I hired Anthony the slow legal process I was stuck in without his help, then moved swiftly and smoothly. The results he got on my charges were greater than expected. He made what seemed impossible, possible. Do yourself and your pocketbook a favor and call Anthony first. If you have spoken to other attorneys and still need representation, then call him next.

I have nothing but amazing things to say about Russ and everything that he has done for me. I called him up one day, completely unsure of what I was doing with my case, my story, and SafeSport. Russ gave me all of the answers and guidance that I needed, and helped me get the closure that I was searching for. There is no one else I would have rather gone to, and I am extremely grateful for everything Russ and his company has done for me.

The firm represented me in litigation against an insurance company. Following 3 years of frustration with my homeowners insurance and no payment for a claim that the insurance company acknowledged was covered, I contacted McDonald and Barnhill. They were totally professional, as well as being nice. They walked me through the entire process, represented me in a juried courtroom, and I was awarded the settlement. I would recommend them without hesitation. Their entire staff provided personal care and attention during the entire process.

Dan McBreen is everything you could hope for in an attorney during a difficult time. My mom was in a car accident, and we were feeling overwhelmed and unsure of what to do next. From the very first conversation, Dan stood out as honest, thorough, and genuinely compassionate.
He carefully reviewedall the details of the case, explained everything in clear and simple terms, and made sure we felt empowered to make informed decisions. Dan’s communication was exceptional—he was always quick to respond, patient with our questions, and incredibly respectful throughout the entire process.
What truly sets him apart is his kindness and humility. He turned what could have been a stressful and overwhelming situation into a smooth and manageable process, where we felt comfortable and in control at every step.

I WISH I COULD GIVE 20 STARS I WOULD!!!!!!!!!!!
Over a year a go I got into a "no fault" car accident going to work. I pick an attorney's office that I thought was good until within a month's times one of the assistance there was calling telling me an offer. Completely feeling like I was just some quick dollars in their pocket I went to my doctor and ask if he could recommend me an attorney. Now the saying "Doctors knows best" applies here and when I tell you I am so happy I took his advice. Jennifer & her office was who he recommended and she was just what I needed for my situation. She's understanding, caring, straight forward, honest and her goal was not to rush to get me a quick dime. She cared more about my health, if there would be any long terms issues and my complete physical and mental well being. And yes, once she was sure I was finally satisfied with everything she made sure I was well compensated.
I don't ever wish an accident on anyone, especially myself, but if it ever happens and I ever find myself again in that situation; there is absolutely one team I want in my corner and that's the team at Mandelbaum Trichler Law Center. I promise you won't regret it.

Matthews Injury Law deserves more than 5 stars! From start to finish, they took care of everything. They handled all the billing, found me the right doctors, and had my case settled in just 6 months. Their professionalism, compassion, and efficiency made a difficult time so much easier. I never had to worry about a thing—they truly went above and beyond. God forbid I or someone I care about ever gets injured again, but if it happens, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Matthews Injury Law. They’re simply amazing!

Nearly a decade ago I was fortunate to find Marc Matthews! I had a thriving career when I was involved in a car wreck! The insurance carrier offered me $2,000 - it took some time and excellent legal skills in order to obtain a 7 figure settlement which made a huge difference for getting back on my feet and providing for my family. My life has moved on, I take care of the injuries, I’m back to work and live a good life, which would not be possible without being represented by Marc so long ago! It matters who you chose - You won’t find a more intelligent, dedicated or skilled Attorney to be your strongest advocate in your toughest time! Thank you Marc!

This is the second time I have hired Chris Hersem for a minor traffic violation. I was a little over the speed limit coming home late from work one night and was stopped by a police offer and was given a ticket. The next day I called Chris and he was very confident that he could make sure that no points were added to my license, which is the only thing I was really concerned about. This time Chris was able to do more than that because he was able to get the case thrown out altogether with no additional charges. I will always call Chris first with matters like this because not only is he a great attorney, but he is always very kind and communicative through every step of the legal process. Thank you, Chris!

I felt he had my best interest in mind from the start and treated my case like it was his own. Chris is a great guy and made me feel at ease while he represented me. I would recommend Chris to anyone looking for an attorney who they can trust and who will go to bat for them.

After my auto accident, I was lost and in pain unsure what to do next. I called Hancock Injury Attorneys, they recommended me who to treat with and what options I have next to be compensated for the damages and pain caused. From start to finish I was fully informed, seamlessly helped and most importantly taken of by the attorneys and staff (Matias and Kelly.) I ended up being compensated more than I thought I would and I couldn't be happier to have chosen Hancock Injury Attorneys. I would recommend everyone to this firm!

What a Personal Injury Lawyer Can Do for You
A personal injury lawyer specializes in helping individuals who have been physically or emotionally injured due to the negligence or wrongful actions of another party. Whether you've been hurt in a car accident, suffered a slip and fall, or experienced medical malpractice, a personal injury attorney works to ensure you receive fair compensation for your injuries. They can help you recover damages for medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other related expenses.
Personal injury lawyers act as your advocate, navigating the legal system on your behalf and dealing with insurance companies to ensure you get the compensation you deserve. They understand how to handle complex legal matters and help you avoid common pitfalls.
When Should I Hire a Personal Injury Lawyer?
Hiring a personal injury lawyer can be beneficial in many situations where you've been harmed due to another's negligence. Some key scenarios include:
- Severe injuries: If you've suffered significant or permanent injuries that result in substantial medical bills, a lawyer can help ensure you are fairly compensated.
- Long-term or permanent disability: Injuries that affect your ability to work or require ongoing medical treatment are complex, and a lawyer can help estimate long-term damages.
- Disputed liability: If the responsible party or their insurance company denies liability for your injury, a lawyer can gather evidence and advocate on your behalf.
- Insurance company lowball offers: Insurers often try to settle personal injury claims for as little as possible. A lawyer can negotiate to get you a fair settlement.
- Medical malpractice claims: Injuries caused by a doctor, nurse, or healthcare provider due to negligence require a personal injury lawyer experienced in medical malpractice law.
- Exposure to hazardous substances: If you've been injured due to exposure to toxins, chemicals, or dangerous substances, a lawyer can help pursue legal action.
Hiring a lawyer early in the process is crucial, especially if you're unsure of the full extent of your injuries or damages.
What Does a Personal Injury Lawyer Do?
A personal injury lawyer provides a wide range of services to guide you through the legal process and maximize your compensation. They can:
- Evaluate your case: A lawyer will assess the strength of your claim and determine whether you have a viable case.
- Investigate the incident: Gathering evidence such as police reports, witness statements, medical records, and expert opinions is key to building a strong case.
- Negotiate with insurance companies: Lawyers handle communications with insurance companies to ensure you receive a fair settlement and aren't taken advantage of.
- File a lawsuit if necessary: If a fair settlement can't be reached, the lawyer can file a personal injury lawsuit on your behalf and represent you in court.
- Help calculate damages: This includes medical expenses, lost wages, future medical needs, pain and suffering, and emotional distress.
- Prepare and file legal documents: Lawyers handle all the paperwork and deadlines associated with your case, including filing motions and discovery requests.
- Represent you at trial: If your case goes to trial, the lawyer will argue your case before a judge and jury to obtain the compensation you deserve.
How Are Personal Injury Lawyers Paid?
Most personal injury lawyers work on a contingency fee basis. This means they only get paid if they win your case, either through settlement or a court judgment. Here’s how it works:
- Contingency fee percentage: The lawyer will take a percentage of the settlement or award, typically between 25% and 40%, depending on the complexity of the case and the stage at which it's resolved.
- Costs and expenses: In addition to the contingency fee, the lawyer may deduct other costs associated with the case, such as filing fees, expert witness fees, and court costs. These expenses are often advanced by the lawyer and repaid out of the settlement.
- No upfront payment: Since the lawyer’s fee is contingent on winning, you usually don’t pay anything upfront.
Always discuss the lawyer’s fee structure during your consultation to avoid surprises.
How Much Does a Personal Injury Lawyer Cost?
The cost of hiring a personal injury lawyer depends on the specifics of your case and the lawyer’s fee structure. However, since most personal injury lawyers work on a contingency fee basis, the amount you pay will depend on the outcome of your case. Here are some general guidelines:
- Contingency fees: Typically range from 25% to 40% of the settlement or award. The percentage may increase if the case goes to trial or requires an appeal.
- Other costs: In addition to the lawyer's fee, you may be responsible for case-related expenses such as expert witness fees, medical record retrieval fees, and court costs. These are often deducted from your settlement, so you won't have to pay out of pocket.
While the cost may seem high, hiring an experienced lawyer can significantly increase the amount you recover, making it a worthwhile investment.
Top Questions to Ask a Personal Injury Lawyer
Before hiring a personal injury lawyer, it's essential to ask questions to ensure you’re choosing the right representation. Here are some important questions to ask:
-
What is your experience with personal injury cases like mine?
Make sure the lawyer has handled cases involving similar injuries or accidents. -
What is your fee structure?
Clarify whether the lawyer charges a contingency fee and what percentage they will take from any settlement or award. -
How long will my case take?
While it's hard to predict, a lawyer can give you an estimate based on similar cases they’ve handled. -
How often do you take cases to trial?
Some lawyers prefer to settle quickly, while others are more comfortable going to court if necessary. -
Will you personally handle my case?
In larger firms, junior lawyers or paralegals may handle some aspects of your case, so it's important to know who will be managing your claim. -
Do you have references from past clients?
Speaking with past clients can provide valuable insight into the lawyer’s effectiveness and professionalism.
How to Check the Credibility of a Personal Injury Lawyer
To ensure you’re hiring a credible personal injury lawyer, take the following steps:
- Check bar association records: Verify that the lawyer is licensed and in good standing with your state’s bar association. Look for any history of disciplinary actions.
- Read client reviews and testimonials: Online platforms like Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, and Google reviews can provide insight into the lawyer's reputation and client satisfaction.
- Look at their track record: Review their experience with personal injury cases, particularly how many cases they’ve successfully resolved or taken to trial.
- Ask for references: Credible lawyers should be willing to provide references from past clients who can vouch for their work.
- Check professional memberships: Lawyers who are members of respected organizations, like the American Association for Justice (AAJ), often have a solid reputation in the field.
What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?
To get the most out of your first meeting with a personal injury lawyer, prepare the following:
- Detailed account of the accident: Write down everything you remember about the incident, including dates, times, and locations. Include any witnesses or police reports if available.
- Medical records and bills: Bring any documentation of your injuries, treatments, and associated medical costs.
- Insurance information: Provide your insurance details and any communication you’ve had with the other party’s insurance company.
- Employment and income records: If your injury has impacted your ability to work, bring proof of lost wages or reduced earning capacity.
- Photos or videos: If you have photos of the accident scene, your injuries, or property damage, bring them to your consultation.
- Questions for the lawyer: Prepare a list of questions to ask, including how the lawyer will handle your case and what you can expect in terms of timeline and outcome.
By preparing thoroughly for your first consultation, you’ll help the lawyer understand your case more quickly and get a better sense of your legal options.
